If on clinical exam consistent C6 Radiculopathy vs. Carpal Tunnel. Cervical MRI and/ or NCT/EMG
While cervical issues can present like this, a very common cause for your symptoms is carpal tunnel syndrome.

Possibly, but probably carpal tunnel syndrome. You need an emg/nct. This test will help define whether the problem is from your neck or wrist.
Good luck!
